[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7388847, member: 23751"] And the point I'm making is that none of that requires Story Now. All of it can and is easily done with my playstyle. None of it has any obvious Story Now goals that are plastered on the character, except for the quest to destroy the ring and becoming king. You have to rationalize that such goals were written down and then apply them, when there is no evidence of such goals existing. In the first sentence you say it's it's fairly obvious what the agenda is, and in the third you contradict yourself and say you don't know. The third sentence is correct, because you don't know and it isn't at all obvious. However, since that event(and all the other character growth and challenges) are part and parcel to my style of play, I don't need to invent hypothetical agendas to have it fit my playstyle. This is a more plausible than inventing hypotheticals, but I think it's still a bit of a stretch. Exploring free will is exceptionally broad as an agenda. It literally allows everything you choose to do to be exploration of that agenda, including domination of others since you are engaging in your free will when you do so. Also, if nothing can truly be against the will of god, then domination is also a part of the will of god. Lastly, the ring is usable by anyone, free or not. Gollum used it, Frodo used it, Bilbo used it, Galadriel could have used it, Gandalf could have used it, and so on. Some of it's powers were dependent on the powers of the wielder, and it amplified those powers. [/QUOTE]
